I've been having this problem for a while. Sometimes when I try to login or even after I login I get kicked out of the web GUI with "web service not available" message. I've seen this posted all over when doing a google search and seems like the problem existed even in beta before 2.0 was released.
The hostd.log was useless. But, I did find the following entries in proxy.log at the moment this failure happens:
Updates thread error notification. PrevError=null, NewError=RuntimeFault, NewErrorMessage=spec
Error processing action request /view/fetch : spec
Fetching propertySet failed for id = 2120
Error processing action request /view/fetch : javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException: Number of parameters passed in (3) doesn't match the number of IN/INOUT parameters (2) frm the addParameter() calls
The last line to me seems to hint at a possible bug? Anybody know of a resolution to this problem? I'm on VMware Server 2.0.1, running on CentOS 5.3/x86_64.
TIA
